    Coolant Leak to Nowhere?

    10-4. New hoses all look great with regular clamps instead of the OEM spring loaded ones.

    Coolant Leak to Nowhere?

    So.......It is a week later. I'm not sure if the coolant I smell after driving is leaking coolant or from the little that spilled around during the repair of the thermostat housing. It's not like I hosed things down. Also, the coolant level in the reservoir has gone down a little bit over the...

    Coolant Leak to Nowhere?

    Well, I finished the thermostat housing and timing chain tensioner replacement. Removal and replacement of the tensioners was simple and straightforward. Installing the new thermostat housing was easy. Removal of the lower thermostat housing was a nightmare......bolt was frozen and I couldn't...

    NGK Sparkplugs

    Replaced the originals with Motorcraft plugs and wires at 90K, and just did them again at 204K. Would not use anything else!

    Coolant Leak to Nowhere?

    Yes, I replaced the PCV about a week ago and thought that setup with the heater loop was a little weird. I'll check again, but no leak when I originally installed. The leak I have started before PCV replacement, and is slowly getting worse. Focusing on that lower thermostat housing.

    Coolant Leak to Nowhere?

    Upon further investigation (with the flashlight!), it appears that the leak is from the back of the engine, dripping down onto the exhaust pipe. What would that be?

    Sounds like a plan, Dillard000. Nice report. I'm thinking about diving in.

    '02 Sport Trac, 206K. No visible leaks. Smell coolant outside of truck after driving. Reservoir goes down about 20% every 10 days or so. Grrrrrrr. Help!

    Ball joints wear out early?

    I’m on my second set in addition to the originals. The Motorcraft hubs lasted about 100,000 miles for me.

    '02 Radiator Replacement

    Did the water pump, thermostat, etc. a few months back. Fan clutch was last week! Fan clutch unavailable from Ford, went with one from NAPA.

    '02 Radiator Replacement

    I think I have a small leak on the driver's side of the radiator. Any tips before I replace? Looks fairly straightforward. I prefer to use the Motorcraft replacement parts, but not readily available. What brand do you recommend? I see several on Rock Auto, and there is also a choice between...

    Whine When Revving

    I'm convinced it is the fan clutch. Replacing it today. No Motorcraft part available. On my way to NAPA

    Whine When Revving

    2002 Sport Trac. Has developed a whine when reviving the engine. Could be described as a roar. Engine noise. Changes with rpm. Have replaced water pump, thermostat, alternator, and belt. Temp in normal range. Power steering fluid full. ?????

    Front end squeak noise!

    These trucks go through ball joints like crazy for some reason. I have 203K on my 2002. Since original, have replaced twice.

    Squeak changes with RPM after Thermostat replacement

    Squeak went away over time - I think you are exactly right with coolant on the belt!
